Theo Van Gogh


Norwegian filmmaker, Theo Van Gogh, was killed in Amsterdam. It is assumed that he was killed my Islamic fanatics for one of his recent films, where he criticised the role of women in Islam. In retaliation, some of the anti Islamic elements have burned an Islamic school in Amsterdam. I believe, when someone decides to attack a culture for their practices, it needs to be done in a sensible way.

It's sad that someone who was out to make a difference was killed and it wasn't right, but may be Theo van Gogh could have gone about spreading his message in a different manner . And I don't have anything to say about the anti-Islamic elements- because by burning a school they are already proved to be as fanatic as Islamic extremists.
